I'arnl Notes.

Don't forget that the time TO
break . colt to the halter is while il
is following the dam. The sooner
the better
The use of oleomargarine by the
public instit utitions of France has
been forbidden by the proper au-
thorities.
The idea among the English has
been that the best mutton is obtain
ed from three and four-yeay-old
wethers.
Drainage is one of the weapons
with which the farmer may fight the
hard times by making his land more
productive.
A prolific tree of salable apples
brings much more money from the
ground it occupies than it would
with most farm crops.
Land plowed while it IS too wet
becomes cloddy and may be injured
to such . degree that years of sod
will not effect restoration.
Study what your soil and the
crops you grow need, and then, as
best you can, feed so as to make
special manures to meet the demand.
One horse that will do the work
of two saves the expense of keeping
an extra horse, which amounts to a
good deal in the course Of a few
years
In the greatest pork producing
sections nearly all the hogs are fat
tened from Oct ! to Jan. | the corn
being fed to the hogs as it is husk-
cd.
Deep setting Of the milk is still
recommended as best for cream and
butter, rs it secures speedy separa
ton and leaves the skim.milk in bet
ter condition.
Fowls in winter, no matter for
what purpose they are kept, should
have roomy, dry and sunny sheds or
houses in which to spend the day
and in which to feed.
Professor Sanborn says: "By
means of the straw and corn fodder
annually wasted in Missouri, $1,000,
600 more head Of cattle could be
kept in the state than now are"
A solution of boracic acid is ex.
cellent for fowls affected with sore
heads or eyes. 1t should be applied
warm, using soft sponge and mark
ing the head, eyes and nostrils well
with it.
The crops in the principle Euro
pean countries are less abundant
than they were previously represent
ed to be, and the quality is complain
ed Of. as a rule, even where the quail
ity is satisfactory.
In 1885 there were only six cheese
factories in Manitoba, while this
year there are seven cheese and five
butter factories, and q general desire
exists for q great development of
the factory system.
When the animal is young let it
take natural exercise. In summer
feed on variety of food and as larg-
ly as possible of grass. When the
animal is put up to finish off fat it
should be kept as quiet as possible.
Don't begin feeding corn to pigs
too soon. Grass, milk, roots, and
refuse vegetables will be better I'M
til cold weather approaches. Warm
quarters will greatly reduce the ex
pense of feeding during the winter.
The farmers of the Cass County
Oak, Institute declared, after dis.
eussion, the summer following is
most effective when done just before
harvest. But blowing just before
harvest does not constitute summer
fallow.
The farmer who really thinks he
cannot take time to read papers that
make his interests subjects of spec
ial study is sure to drop behind in
his pursuit of gain, for he accepts

The closing and one of the most brilliant
events of the dancing season will occur at
City Hall on next Thursday evening, the
Goth inst, when the Montgomery Guards
will hold their exhibition drill and ball.
There is always rush to see this crack
military company when they appear in their
almost perfect exhibitions, but on this occa-
sion there will be more than usual interest
taken as it is to be their first appearance in
their new uniforms The boys are drilling
hard and intend to sustain their well earned
reputation. Add to this such attractions as
concert by Chandler and his best music
for dancing, and a select order of dances,
and no further assurance is needed of good
time for all who attend.

maine wooden Manufacturers.

The Maine W aoleni Manufacturers held a
meeting at the Preble House yesterday af-
ternoon. Among those present were A. o.
Campbell, Sangeryille;,, f. j. Goodspeed,
Madison; L. Anderson, Skowhegan; Allen
Garner & Son, Kezar Falls; James Walker,
Welchyille; Thomas Robinson, South Wind
ham; Joseph Robinson, Oxford; Thomas
Walker, Warren, and E. NJ. Goodall, San
ford. The object of the NEE ing was to dis
cuss prices aud hours of lab and to elect
officers for the ensuing year. AS there was
large number of the members of the asso
citation absent, owing to the recent freshets.
preventing their attendance, the ten hours
of labor act was not discussed The meeting
had been called for 10 O'Clock in the morning
but did not organize until p. M, and ad
journed before O'Clock to enable the men,
beers to catch the trains for home. The prin-
cipal business was the election of officers.
The following were elected:

Pine Street Church.

At a meeting Of the official board of Pine
street M. L. church, the following novel plan
for free church was offered by the pastor,
Rev. E. S. Stackpole, and adopted by the
board at his urgent request:
1. Let no pews or sttings be rented to
any, but assigned by the ushers according to
ual preferences.
2. Let the contributions be entirely vol
untary; no pledges made in advance, no ac-
counts kept with individuals, no one to know
what his neighbor giyeth, but each one to
put into the contribution box what he thinks
the Lord wants him to. Let God be the col
lector.
g.. No one but the pastor and treasurer
shall know what the receipts are from Sab
bath to Sabbath. Thus each one will have
no standard by which to measure himself
except the word of God
4. After making estimates for current ex-
penses during the coming year. the pastor
volunteers to pay the same out of the volun-
tary contributions and to live on the balance,
having no fixed salary, but trusting in the
Lord and in the people for comfortable
support" Thus there can be no deficiency
at the end of the year.
5. If any money be needed during the
year for extraordinary repairs, liquidation
OF debt, or of interest on debt already ac-
crued, let the same be raised by subscription
apart from the voluntary offerings.
@. Each Monday the treasurer shall de-
duct from the collections of the previous day
1-52d part of the amount needed for current
expenses, and pay the balance to the pastor.
1t will be seen from the above that Pine
street church offers free gospel to all, and
only asks of every worshipper that he shall
contribute for the support of the church "as
the Lord hath prospered him." The con-
science. enlightened by Gods word, must de-
termine the amount. Our motto is Paups
word to the Corinthians, "We seek not yours
but you" All persons not regularly con-
nected with some other church, are invited
to worship with Pine street. and will find
cordial reception. Next Sunday the subject
of the sermon at 1890 a. m, will be Free
Churches" "Come then with us and we
will do thee good"

One Sad Result of that Colonization
SWIndle.
orman w. stubbs Shot in an Arizona
Village.

The Phoenix Daily Herald, of Marlcopa
county, Arizona, dated May llth, mas Just
been received, and tells the sad story OF the
death of Orman w. Stubs of Portland, one
of the deluded colonists in the Topolebampo
swindle. Mr.. Stubs was brother of Au-
gustus f., Joseph T., and Algernon Stubbs,
the art dealers of this city.
The Herald says that at $40 p. M, OF the
afternoon of May 18th, pistol shot was
heard by the workmen on Fuqua's new liv-
cry stable, and running to an alley-way near
by, whence the sound proceeded, they saw
man lying PROSTATE. On examination he
was recognized as Orman W. Stubs, who
had been working on the building with them.
He was lying on his left side, and blood was
oozing from hole in his right temple. A
revolver was lying at his feet. He was dead
when found, the shot having killed him in
stantly.
Mr. Howard M. Chase, who was also from
Portland, told the Arizona reporter that sew
en- months ago, he and Mr., Stubs, allured
by the glowing descriptions of the Topolo-
bampo colony, left Portland for the new col
ony with high hopes and some little capital.
On reaching that Inflated spot they found
nothing to invest in. After spending most
of their little hoard as living expenses,
which were high, they at last, at great ex-
pense, reached Guaymas. There Stubs
found a job as lineman on telegraph line,
while Chase pushed on to Nogales through
Hermosillo. He then got work for short
time in brick yard. Still pushing north
toward civilization, about the last of April
he reached Phoenix, Arizona, and got work
from Mr.. Patton on FuQua's stable. Stubs
| followed him, and reached Phoenix on May
10th, and got job on the same building the
| same day.
A brother of Mr.. Stubs, who lives in this
| city, says he had a letter from Orman re-
Gently. The latter was in good health and
| spirits. 1t is thought by his relatives here
| in Portland that the dead man was killed fol
| his money. 1t was after payday, they say
| and he had considerable.

MAINE WHEELMEN.
Annual Meeting Of the state Division
/. A w.

The annual meeting of the Maine Division
of the League of American Wheelmen was
held in this city yesterday. In the after
noon, about twelve of the members made an
enjoyable run to the Ocean House, and
stopped for supper at the Cape Cottage on
the return to the city. The stay at the Cot
tage was pleasant part of the days pro-
ceedings. The wheelmen were photographed
by Lamson, and with appetites sharpened by
fifteen miles of wheeling, were well prepar-
ed to enjoy the excellent repast furnished
them at the hotel.
The business meeting was held at the
rooms of the Portland Wheel Club, at 8
o'clock last evening. There was an attend
ance of about forty, including Messrs. A. L..
I. Cummings and G. H. Cults of Biddeford.
representing the York County Wheelmen.
Before the meeting was called to order,
President John c. Stevens, in behalf of the
Portland Wheel Club, presented handsome
watch to Mr.. Lewis E. Smith, The watch is
gold case, stem-winding, Elgin make. The
case is handsomely chased, and bears Mr..
Smiths initials on the back, while on the in
side of the cover is the following inscrip-
ton:
From the Portland Wheel Club to Lewis
u. Smith, In recognition of his services at
the minstrel entertainment, May 10th, 1887.
Mr.. Smith spoke appropriately. expressing
his thanks.
The meeting Of the Division was then
called to order by Chief Consul F. A. FL
we'll Mr.. A. L. T. Cummings, the secretary
treasurer, read the reports of the last meet
ing, and his annual report, which showed
the Division to be in prosperous condition.
Mr.. Elwell, the chief consul, spoke briefly
of the condition and prospects of the Divis-
ion. He urged the members to exert their
personal efforts to increase the membership
and recommended that the fall field day ex-
ercises be held at some central point and
made an occasion of Importance. Mr.. Ell
well also urged the need of road and route
book, giving descriptions of the condition of
the roads in the State. While there are
many poor roads in Maine, there are many
good highways, lying amid picturesque seen
cry and in regions where everything con-
duces to trip on the bicycle A road book
is needed, both for the wheelmen visiting
Maine from other States and for the guild
ance of Maine bicyclists.
The election of secretary-treasurer was
the next business, and Mr.. j. c. Stevens
moved that the chief consul cast the ballot
of the meeting for Mr. Cummings as secre-
tary-treasurer for the ensuing year. Mr.
Cummings was accordingly declared unani-
mously reelected.
After several members had expressed their
approval of the consul's recommendation in
regard to a road and route book, it was voted
that the chief consul compile and publish
such work.
The members of the Division were then
entertained by the singing of the members
of the Wheel Club minstrels.
